Marcus Rashford’s sibling and representative, Dwaine Maynard, has been ‘seen’ with Manchester City officials as a ‘noticeable presence’ to observe his brother playing football.
Rashford joined Villa on loan in January and achieved four goals and six assists during a mostly impressive period before sustaining a hamstring injury that appears likely to sideline him for the remainder of the season.
Earlier this week, a report suggested that Man Utd and Aston Villa are currently 'negotiating' about ending his loan prematurely.
Rashford realizes that there probably won't be a future for him at Old Trafford with Ruben Amorim, so the Red Devils will consider offers. He intends to meet with his employers prior to mid-June.
However, he might have to come back sooner than anticipated if both clubs reach an agreement, as he is unlikely to recover within three weeks. This occurs despite Villa having a £40m purchase option for Rashford included in their loan deal with United.
'Rashford reportedly remains uncertain about his future at this time and will ultimately determine where he competes next season.'
It is believed that Rashford desires to participate in Champions League football next season, and given that Aston Villa is competing with several clubs for one of the prized top five positions in the Premier League for qualification, there is no assurance that he will sign with the Villans.
A report on Wednesday stated that Villa are now 'more convinced' he will 'move to competitors' PSG following their match against the Ligue 1 giants in the Champions League.
The 27-year-old’s future remains uncertain as the summer transfer window draws near.
Villa secured a £40million buy option when they signed Rashford on
‘Nevertheless, any transfer hinges on the forward’s consent – and Villa feels that Champions League semi-finalists PSG are in prime position to finalize a major agreement.’
‘The Ligue 1 champions have maintained an interest in Rashford – who has no future at Man United following a disagreement with manager Ruben Amorim.’
However, the Daily Mail deliberately indicates that Rashford might be contemplating a cross-city transfer to rivals Manchester City, following his brother being 'seen' in the Manchester City directors' box.
He was a ‘prominent figure’ even though Marcus played and scored in the match he attended. ‘Obvious’, indeed.
Seen at the Etihad during Manchester City's victory over Aston Villa last week, Marcus Rashford's brother and agent, Dwaine Maynard, stood out in the directors' box.
‘Maynard sat close to City's football director Txiki Begiristain and his successor Hugo Viana as Rashford leveled for Villa from the spot, prior to Matheus Nunes grabbing a late winner for the home team.’
They proceed to steer clear of accusations of frivolous gossip before asserting 'you heard it here first' if Rashford were to make the 'sensational' move that he certainly won't make.
‘Might that pave the way for a dramatic crosstown transfer to the Etihad? Currently, there are no indications that the boyhood Red would contemplate joining City, that Rashford is expected to play a role in Pep Guardiola’s summer overhaul, or that United would even consider selling him to their rivals. However, if Marcus Rashford moves to Manchester City, you heard it here first.
